Strategic HRM
: Introduction
Human Resource Management (referred to as HRM throughout this module) is the management of a key resource in the organisation – people:
Think for a moment about any organisation. What resources are there in that organisation? You might think of a variety of items: raw materials, computers, paper, buildings, machinery… There are also people.
Without people there is a limit to what the organisation can achieve. The machines cannot operate without people to work them (even if they are automatic machines there needs to be a person who programmes them). The raw materials need to be turned into something that can be sold: this requires people. The computers need people to operate them.
People are key to the success of any organisation.
